So, we are all familiar with The Gates, perhaps the most famous of all Central Park public art pieces, but what about all of those other statues, fountains, etc.? This past weekend a friend of mine and I met up in the park for a nice long walk and a picnic and we started noticing all of the beautiful pieces sprinkled throughout. It wasn't long before we were researching their history and placement on her iphone. I highly recommend spending a beautiful Fall afternoon strolling through the park and looking at all of the old (and new) pieces of art in the park. If you get in the mood, while you're up there, stop off at any of the great museums the Upper East Side has to offer - like The Met, The Frick, The Guggenheim, or The Whitney.
